Universitatea Cluj

Fotbal Club Universitatea Cluj (Romanian pronunciation: [universiˈtate̯a kluʒ]), commonly known as Universitatea Cluj or simply as U Cluj, is a Romanian professional football club based in the city of Cluj-Napoca, Cluj County. Founded in 1919 by doctor Iuliu Hațieganu, they currently play in the Liga II, the second tier of the Romanian football league system.

Universitatea Cluj have spent most of their history in the top division, but never became national champions. They played five Cupa Romaniei finals under four different names, and won the trophy in the 1964–65 season. Once considered the most important side in the region of Transylvania, their status has been threatened in the 21st century by the success of CFR Cluj, with whom they contest the Cluj derby.

Universitatea players and fans are nicknamed Șepcile roșii ("The Red Caps") after the red berets worn by students of the Cluj University of Medicine. The team traditionally plays in white and black kits, although variations of red, maroon and gold have been used in the past. Their home ground is Cluj Arena, which was opened in 2011 and can host roughly 30,000 spectators.
